Spiritual Guidance Mentor Program |

Description |

Atlantic University has developed a new training program for individuals who wish to help and guide others on their Spiritual Path. Providing support, encouragement and direction to spiritual seekers is a longstanding tradition, particularly within the Church. Although religious professionals have often taken on that role, there is also a history of trained lay persons serving as "spiritual directors" to mentor individuals with their inner life.
In recent years the tremendous growth of interest in personal spirituality (often extending beyond the confines of a particular religion) has created a need for more and more people to serve as mentors and helpers to individual seekers.
Clearly, spiritual guidance mentoring is not psychotherapeutic counseling, although that kind of professional help can sometimes be a very important adjunct. Instead, a spiritual guidance mentor operates within a more focused set of issues that most seekers face at some point:
- How can I deepen my prayer or meditation life?
- How can I understand the spiritual direction that may be coming from my dreams?
- What are the talents of my soul and how can they work together to fulfill my true destiny or soul?purpose?
- How can I interpret and apply various forms of guidance that may be available to me, including synchronicity, creative inspiration, and intuitive insight (my own or that offered by others)?
The spiritual guidance mentor is a man or woman who is actively working on personal answers to these questions; however, it is also someone who is trained to help other people find their own answers. The skilled mentor avoids being cast in the role of spiritual authority figure, but rather acts as a wise spiritual friend or an experienced companion along the Spiritual Path.
This kind of mentoring or coaching can be done on a fee basis or simply as a voluntary service to friends and acquaintances. Atlantic University's training program is designed to prepare the prospective mentor by helping that person obtain the necessary skills and experience. From that training the student can then begin to help others in whatever way best serves his or her own sense of calling. |
